The Faithful Remnant on Earth, in Purgatory, in Heaven Six lifelong friends, now in their 60’s, meet in the basement of Mulcahy’s Funeral Parlor in the Savin Hill section of Dorchester, an inner city suburb of Boston. They have just attended the wake upstairs of their boyhood friend, Arthur AW O'Malley. AW had cerebral palsy all his life. The six men are: Peter Quarter To Two Fignatti - a retired bookie or numerologist. Mike Mucka Lydon - a retired line worker from Boston Edison. Charles Three Balls Cahill - a state senator, still active. George Giraffe Geoghan - a retired world-class jockey. Steve Inkwell Jablonski - owner of a public relations firm. Father Frank Farts Fahey - a retired priest still serving part-time. Each has his own guardian angel. Peter Fignatti - Richard aka Parley Mike Lydon - Bartholemew Charles Cahill - William George Geoghan - John aka Seabiscuit Steve Jablonski - Murphy Father Frank Fahey - Max Unknown to the men the supervisor of guardian angels Malchus is sent by God to listen to their stories because how they lived their lives will determine the destruction of salvation of the world. At the conclusion of their stories, Malchus makes his report to God with no clear recommendation to save or destroy the world. God calls AW before him and their conversation decides the fate of mankind. When they die all but AW go to purgatory he goes straight to heaven as most disabled people do. The six eventually all meet again in heaven and AW wants to know of each one’s purgatory experience.
